Terra Nullius: Session 39 - Jumping the Shark

Key Points:

Aria and Managirl shared a motorcycle while Death Otter rode her own. The rest of the party got into the armored truck. Their little caravan of three then proceeded through the streets of the city in hopes of finding the Olympians at Treant Theater...

Along the way, the group began to notice a SUV following them for several blocks.
The group began thinking of counters, but didn't have much room as two other SUVs came out at an intersection to pincer the group into a kill zone. With that, combat started...

Aria and Managirl manage to evade being run over by the SUV. However, the SUV crashes into the truck; rocking everyone inside of it.
Setter leans out of the window and fires upon the two SUVs ahead of them.
Death Otter cleared the group a path by hacking into one of the SUVs and throwing it into reverse.
Kembu opened up the back of the truck and jumped out of it; stabbing his sword through the windshield of the SUV and killing the driver. With some unknown assistance from Angel, he was able to recover and make it back into the truck.
Roan began speeding ahead in the truck; clipping a van in the process but maintaining control of the vehicle.
The guards in the SUVs began to unload on the armored truck; using assault rifles. The truck and those inside of it took some meager damage.
The attackers seemed to be a mix bag; most of them wore flak vests and hid their identities with ski masks. The others wore something more befitting of a SWAT team and hid their identities with gas masks.
Aria and Managirl rode ahead now to catch up with the truck; slicing out one of the SUV's tires along the way.
Managirl tried to blow up one of the SUV's but found it too difficult to attack from a moving motorcycle.
Angel bides her time, since no one is injured.

The Olympian known as Poseidon was revealed to be behind the ambush as he arrived on the battlefield with a fierce looking SHARK TANK mech.
Raiders (drivers) tried firing upon the group, but with no luck.
Setter used one of his tricks to attack Poseidon's mind; making Roan invisible to him.
Otter tried to hack into the SHARK's CPU, but found the firewall resisting her.
Poseidon used his command over water to unleash a blast of sewage water from the sewers at the majority of the group; wounding a good amount of them. The strike is enough to take out Aria's back which sent her and Managirl to the streets.
Roan proved to be an apt driver as he managed to avoid hitting Aria and Managirl while skidding the car to a halt. Once stopped, he started firing upon the SHARK with his sniper rifle.
The various men in ski masks began firing up the truck and the denizens inside of it again.
Aria went after one of the raiders driving the SUV; sticking him with her katana.
Managirl began causing destruction with her magic and gadgets; killing several of the baddies, nearly blowing up an SUV, and wounding the SHARK.
Angel gave Kembu an adrenaline shot to help him with the combat while she administered some first aid to Roan.
Kembu, in the mean time, tried to go up against the SHARK, but couldn't find an opening to capitalize on.

Kembu managed to fend off the SHARK TANK for the time being.
The raiders left their vehicles and attempted to engage Managirl and Aria, but failed miserably.
Setter, in the mean time, got his vengeance against Poseidon for ruining his fur. After firing a transit bullet to teleport him next to the Olympian, he then used Hephaestus' Hammer to lay into Poseidon with several powerful strikes; bloodying the Olympian as the two battled on top of the mech.
Otter managed to pierce the defenses of the SHARK and turn its automated systems against Poseidon briefly. She then swapped from messing with SHARK to Poseidon; firing off PAIN in his mind.
Poseidon began to build up momentum; wounding Setter with a powerful roundhouse kick and following it up with impaling the hengeyokai on his trident. It left the skald dying...
A few of the minions traded blows with the party members while Roan fired off two highly effective shots on Poseidon.
Aria takes out one of the minions while keeping the raider tied up and busy.
Managirl blows up an SUV; killing the raider Aria was holding.
Angel managed to take care of her own wounds while rushing out to help Setter recover.
Kembu launched two powerful strikes against Poseidon; nearly finishing him off.

Athena took control over the SHARK TANK remotely and tried to go on a rampage with it. She would have succeeded too, had Kembu not intervened with a hard strike that temporarily shut down the CPU and forced it into a reboot.
Otter forced Poseidon to strike the SHARK with his powerful trident before taking down the Olympian with a quick hack to his brain; knocking him unconscious.
Setter takes control of the SHARK through a spell delivered by his SEED, then forces it to attack the nearby raider who came to Poseidon's aid by firing upon Kembu and Setter.
Roan fired off another solid shot against the SHARK.
The remaining SUV with Guards came barreling down towards Aria and Managirl. Aria managed to pull Managirl out of harm's way, but took the brunt of the blow as the SUV hit her. She countered, however, by slicing up the SUV so bad that it flipped from the momentum and crushed everyone inside of it.
At this point, the group was able to dispatch the SHARK TANK with two turns worth of attacks, not counting OAs from Setter's dominate, resulting in the elite not really getting to use its action point or cool tricks... harsh, yo.

Angel tended to Poseidon to make sure that the Olympian wouldn't bleed out from his wounds. She also tended to the rest of the party as they took a short rest.
The group claimed Poseidon's trident as their prize.
Unable to wait any longer due to the incoming Genesis Security, most of the group loaded up in the truck with Otter and Managirl on the bike.
The group left Poseidon their for Genesis security with a rather unflattering note attached to him...
The group decided to go to a bath house to clean up while also ensuring that their truck could be washed inside and out...

The group will arrive at the Treant Theater in the early afternoon after having cleaned themselves up (short rest only, no extended) and proceed in trying to take down the six remaining Olympians...
